No idea what this game was called, but I used to play it for hours with my dad when I was a kid. It was a space shooter, but instead of scrolling vertically or horizontally, your ship moved in a circle around the edge of the screen, almost like you were inside an invisible tube, and enemies came out at you. Surely someone on here can tell me what it was called.

Thx in advance for your help.

Galaga? Gyruss? One of those "G" shooters, no?

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Gyruss

The only thing that comes to mind is Tempest, but I only played it in the arcades. I'm not sure if it was released on the NES.

 

[Porridge]

Tempest, but I don't know if that was released on the NES

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Most definitely Gyruss.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Gyruss

That poster is correct. I always looked at it as if the ship was along the outer ring of a clock.

Not that one won't get a quick answer with the hundreds of people here, but doesn't Gazunta have a site specifically for questions like this? I remember it from the free banner ad fest here months back.

Thanks, that has to be it. I'll see if I can find it at EB or something tomorrow.

There's a really quick and easy Howard Dean photoshop in that, but I'm just not feeling it right now.

Man... I played Gyruss so much when I was little!

I play it now on my GBA Movieplayer, either on GBA, NDS, or GCN.
